Final retailer announced for Anchorwood Bank

The final retailer to move into Barnstaple’s Anchorwood Bank has been revealed.

Tapi Carpets will occupy the fourth retail unit at the retail park.

The store, which has more than 100 branches across the United Kingdom - including in Exeter and Plymouth - is expected to be open by the end of the year.

Andrew Pegg, Wessex Investors' managing director, said: "We are delighted to be able to confirm Tapi as the final retail occupier at Anchorwood Retail Park.

"At a difficult time for retail in general it is a real endorsement of the attractiveness of Barnstaple and the quality of our site that high profile national retailers such as Tapi, Next, DFS and Iceland Food Warehouse have been keen to invest and open new stores in the town."

Tapi will join Next, DFS and Iceland Food Warehouse at the retail park, which opened in the summer.
